This is why all of the Confederate officers should have been tried for treason and hung and their farms distributed to the former slaves who worked on them as reparations.

I’m still waiting to hear why his neighbor stomped a mudhole into him. Whatever the reason, I’m siding with the neighbor.

“Whenever anyone in a black church says they have been “led by God” or “moved by the spirit,” the shit is about to go down.”

Some people wouldn’t recognize racism if it was hanging at the end of a rope.

Libertarian = racists who can spell.

I don’t buy the idea that she doesn’t know about the racist history of calling black people monkeys. Those soccer games where the crowds threw bananas at players of African descent and made monkey noises at them happened in Europe, not America. Also, Kenya is not Wakanda. It has a long history of colonization by the…

This is a tragic funeral for a young warrior who left behind two children, one of whom will only know her through pictures and stories. Everyone who showed up and acted a fool needs to be ashamed of themselves.

Meh. I’m tired of Black Americans being asked to be a mule for everyone else’s liberation movement. We need reciprocity. 

I understood why they made their request. They wanted Erica’s story to be treated with dignity and respect and based on their experiences when Eric Garner was murdered, they do not trust white journalists to be respectful. Judging by the tweeted responses from white journalists, their instincts were correct.

Ray Lewis reminds me of Bokeem Woodbine’s character from Dead Presidents. A psychopathic killer turned fake pastor who betrayed his friends to save himself.

Each state needs to have a special prosecutor with its own investigative body that handles nothing but criminal accusations of excessive force against law enforcement.

Mark Twain summed it up well, ‘I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.’

This picture is seven years old. The stepson towered over his stepfather. This was not some little boy acting in self defense. This was the act of a sociopath who lived with his mom and stepdad, refused to get a job, refused to go to college and refused to even clean up after himself. If he was so scared, why didn’t…

It sounds like your ex friend needs to hash her issues out with a therapist who is sensitive to issues of colorism and how it shaped your ex friend’s lack of self esteem. As a light skinned black woman, all I can do is listen more than I speak when darker skinned women share their pain and speak up when I see someone…

There’s no petty like Latoya Jackson petty.

Is the title of the book going to be “Let me speak to your manager”?

I’m sorry, but I don’t trust any pastor wearing an S-Curl or Wave Nouveau.

It’s unfortunate that the word of the first victim who spoke out wasn’t enough. It took someone as accomplished and articulate as Jenny Lumet to say #metoo before the allegations against Russell Simmons were taken seriously. Prior to the election he was friends with Trump and has been a long time friend of Brett…

Right now Plaxico Burress is shaking his fists in anger.

Lots of Black people have a real problem with classism. That is real their objection to both Tiffany Haddish and Cardi B.
